The Biden administration has relaunched its free COVID-19 testing program, allowing U.S. households to order at-home rapid antigen tests at no cost.
The taxpayer-funded program that paused in March resumed on Sept. 26, according to Dawn O'Connell, assistant secretary for preparedness and response at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
“I am pleased to announce that we reopened the free COVID-19 test program today,” O’Connell said in a statement on X. She added that over 900 million tests have been distributed over the course of the lifetime of the program, which was first launched in early 2022.
A note on a website operated by HHS indicates that every U.S. household is eligible to order four free at-home tests, which can detect currently circulating COVID-19 variants. The website directs interested parties to a U.S. Postal Service (USPS) order form that can now be filled out, with the postal agency promising to start shipping the tests the week of Sept. 30.
